This book continues as volume 9 of a multi-compendium on Edible Medicinal and Non-Medicinal
Plants. It covers such plants with edible modified storage subterranean stems (corms,
rhizomes, stem tubers) and unmodified subterranean stem stolons, above ground swollen
stems and hypocotyls, storage roots (tap root, lateral roots, root tubers), and bulbs,
that are eaten as conventional or functional food as vegetables and spices, as herbal
teas, and may provide a source of food additive or nutraceuticals. This volume covers
plant species with edible modified stems, roots and bulbs from Acanthaceae to Zygophyllaceae
(tabular) and 32 selected species in Alismataceae, Amaryllidaceae, Apiaceae, Araceae,
Araliaceae, Asparagaceae, Asteraceae, Basellaceae, Brassicaceae and Campanulaceae
in detail. The edible species dealt with in this work include wild and underutilized
crops and also common and widely grown ornamentals. To help in identification of the
plant and edible parts about 120 colored illustrations are included. As in the preceding
eight volumes, topics covered include: taxonomy (botanical name and synonyms); common
English and vernacular names; origin and distribution; agro-ecological requirements;
edible plant parts and uses; plant botany; nutritive, medicinal and pharmacological
properties with up-to-date research findings; traditional medicinal uses; other non-edible
uses; and selected/cited references for further reading. This volume has separate
indices for scientific and common names; and separate scientific and medical glossaries
